Very good. It was Focnet that came before EDA. Did you research that or have you been around that long too? :-)

And with that early Focnet, there was a special product called FPA. Does anyone remember what that stood for and what it did?

How many different names has Report Caster had and what are they? (Not that I know, just seemed like that every year or two it had a different name.)

Currently IBI sells two products called Resource Analyzer and Resource Governer. Even these products had a different name in the past. Can anyone remember the old name for these products?

Am I the only one who finds it interesting that the only trivia we can think of revolves around product name changes. There sure were a lot of name changes. Smiler


Thanks!

jnc,
Good One
SMART MODE is the correct answer as the former name of Resource Analyzer/Governer. A good hint to the answer is to look at the table names for the tables in the Resource Analyzer/Governer repository. All the tables start with 'SM'.


Thanks!
